Hi all,

I need to re-install XML::LibXML after a harddisk failure, and I can't
remember how I did it the first time around. Here is how I tried it:
First, I installed the LibXML and LibXML2 libraries using Fink. Then, I
ran:

sudo cpan -i XML::LibXML

First it looked good, but at several points in the process got a message
of the following type:

Writing Makefile for XML::NamespaceSupport
-- NOT OK
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

I had trouble with "make" trying to install another software (remind),
too. Maybe my unix system is broken somehow? That would be strange since
it is pretty much a fresh installation.

Does anybody know what might be the problem?

Ingo

you might want to try building it from the actual distro if you're using the
Fink libxml libraries, i know that with XML::Parser, i have to actually set
the path to expat in the Makefile.pl file to get it to build with my
darwinports expat.

hth,
